Shubh Muhurat Suggestion

What is Muhurata?

Muhurata is a unit of time in which planets and Nakshatras are aligned in a benefic position. A task performed in an auspicious Muhurata minimizes the obstacles and maximizes the chances of success & satisfaction.

What is the importance of Muhurata?

The custom of adhering Muhurata is older than the tales. Shastras say beginning/performing a specific task in a certain Muhurata yields the desired outcomes.

When any work is commenced in an auspicious time, obstacles are removed, and desired results are obtained. Conversely, if any work is commenced in an inauspicious time, there are obstacles, the work is spoiled, and sometimes the work is not done at all.

Is Muhurata always needed?

There is a particular Muhurata for doing small to bigger tasks. In aeon, people used to consider Muhurata for every small task. However, if not all, then Muhurata must be adhered for some important works or ceremonies like beginning construction, buying property, buying a vehicle, travelling, marriage, naming ceremony of the child, and opening a new shop/factory/office, etc. Why? Because these are some of the events that happen occasionally, but make a lasting difference, for which it becomes inevitable to perform them in auspicious Muhurata only.

Two Types of Muhurata:

Muhurata is of two types:

1. Common Muhurata: Navratri, Dushehra, Diwali, New Year, Basant Panchmi, Akshaya Tritiya, Choghadiya, etc. These Muhuratas are equally beneficial for everyone.
2. Special Muhurata: A Muhurata calculated as per the Lagna and strength of the moon is called special Muhurata. These Muhuratas are different for each person and the nature of the task.

How to Calculate Muhurata?

As per Hindu Panchang, one day is about 24 hours. Approx. 30 different Muhuratas occur in 24 house each of about 48 minutes. In Panchang, annual auspicious and inauspicious Muhuratas are pre-calculated and mentioned for easy reference.

30 Muhuratas in a Day:

Muhurata is a space calculation, and certain parameters are considered while calculating a Muhurata, such as: Tithi, Nakshatra, Vaar, Karan, Yog, Planetary Placement, Malmas, Adhik Mas, Jupiter & Venus combustion, Bhadra, Rahu Kala, Strength of the Moon and most importantly an Auspicious Lagna. Let’s understand them in detail.

Tithi (Date): – The importance of Tithi in Nakshatra calculation is 1%.

In Nakshatra calculation, Panchang considers a day beginning from the Sunrise and ending on the Sunrise of the next day. Tithi is also of two types:

1. क्षय तिथि – starts after the sunrise but finishes before the sunrise of the next day.
2. वृद्धि तिथि – starts before the sunrise but finishes after the sunrise of the next day.

However, both the Kshaya and Vridhi Tithis are inauspicious.

As per Panchang, there are 30 dates (Tithis) in a month divided into 15-15 days of Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha.

Nakshatra (Constellation): The importance of Vaar in Nakshatra calculation is 4%.

Nakshatra is a group of certain stars in the sky. There are 27 Nakshatras, but one additional Nakshatra also, called the Abhijit Nakshatra, which rarely occurs. 27 Nakshatras are ruled by 9 planets. Nakshatras ruled by good planets are auspicious, and Nakshatras ruled by evil planets are inauspicious.

Vaar (Day): The importance of Vaar in Nakshatra calculation is 8%.

Vaar refers to the weekday categorized as per their nature:

Karana (Day): The importance of Karana in the Nakshatra calculation is 16%.

A Tithi (date) is divided into two parts. Each part of a Tithi is called a Karna. As per Panchang, there are 11 Karnas: 4 fixed and 7 movables.

Yog: The importance of Yog in Nakshatra calculation is 32%.

Yoga is axiomatic because it is a combination of other measures like sun, moon, Nakshatra, Tithi, etc. In Panchang, 27 Yogas are mentioned:

Tara: The importance of Tara in Nakshatra calculation is 60%.

Nakshatra divided into nine parts termed as Taras. The formula to calculate Tara is

• Take moon Nakshatra of your birth time.
• Take moon Nakshatra of the day on which Muhurata is required.
• Count the Nakshatra number from your birth Nakshatra, to the respective day’s Nakshatra and divide the number by 9 – the yielded number will be your Tara.
